Meng Tao pulled her hand away calmly. Although she was strong, it would still hurt if someone pinched or grabbed her. "Aunt, what do you want? Please tell me."

"Ah? You're telling me now?"

Meng Tao: “…”

If you don't tell me now, why are you following me and clinging to me? Liang Jing coughed twice: "It's like this. Maybe you won't understand this matter even if I tell you in a few words. You are very busy now. Why don't we make an appointment for tomorrow at noon? Auntie invites you to have dinner at Jincuilou. We can talk while we eat. You can bring the child with you. I like him very much. I will hold the child for you. How about that?"

"Tomorrow..."

"Tao Tao doesn't have time tomorrow!"

Meng Tao and Liang Jing turned around at the same time and saw Meng Zhehan standing there, expressionless and looking at Liang Jing with cold eyes.

Liang Jing's face changed slightly, and then he laughed: "It turned out to be Zhehan, you are kidding, you scared us!"

Meng Zhehan: "Aunt San, do you think I'm joking? I followed you here, and I know exactly what you want to talk to Taotao about. Are you acting on behalf of Uncle San? I advise you to go back and ask Uncle San to see if he agrees. Now, please let Taotao go back to the living room. She is the hostess and has to entertain guests."

Liang Jing's smile froze, but she still said calmly: "In this case, I don't need to hide it. Zhehan, Third Aunt is also thinking about stability and unity, as well as the reputation of our Meng family. People should not be too heartless, and they should not be ungrateful...

Don't forget that you are the eldest grandson of the Meng family. Your words and deeds represent the dignity of the Meng family. Whether outsiders think our family tradition is upright or not depends entirely on the moral cultivation of you, the future successor. You have so many brothers and sisters who are watching you. You should behave well and not disappoint Third Aunt and the elders in the family. "

Meng Zhehan: "I'm sorry, I will definitely disappoint you, but you have no say in what the elders of the Meng family think of me."

Liang Jing: “…”

Meng Tao was also speechless and confused. She had no idea what the aunt and nephew were talking about. Could she please leave first?

Meng Zhehan said to Meng Tao, "I just passed by the children's room and saw a few kids fighting over something. Can you go and see if little Yunhai is crying?"

"Well, I'll go first." Meng Tao nodded politely to Liang Jing and walked away.

I went to the door of the children's room and peeked inside. Several little kids were playing a ball-grabbing game, babbling and happily communicating with their children in baby language. Xiao Yunhai's grandmother, Han Sufang, Fang's wife, Lu Jin's wife, and Sun Hong were watching and laughing at the children. The young wives were talking about parenting tips. Xiao Mingming was more interested in the warship model on the table. He was following Meng Zheyan closely, listening to his explanation with admiration on his face.

Meng Tao just looked twice and left. With her grandmother accompanying her, she didn't have time to hug little Yunhai now, so she would come back later.

As soon as he turned around, he bumped into someone's arms. Shen Yu hugged his wife and said, "You don't even look at the road when you walk?"

Meng Tao was so angry that she pinched the soft flesh on his waist: "You are the one who blocked my way on purpose, why are you here? My son is not crying, he is having a lot of fun, don't go in and distract him."

"I'm not looking at my son, I'm looking at you."

"What's wrong with me?"

"You rushed into the house in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

Meng Tao: "..." Was I so obvious? She told Shen Yu that Liang Jing wanted to talk to her alone, but Meng Zhehan interrupted the conversation with a cold face.

Shen Yu thought for a moment and said, "I guess it might have something to do with the old lady who lives in the villa on the outskirts of the city."

Mr. Meng's original wife's surname was Su, and the woman he later married was named Fan. The two wives were actually cousins. When Meng Tao heard about this, she couldn't help but imagine countless bloody plots.

Shen Yu nodded. "I heard Zhehan mention it a few days ago. Old Madam Fan was seriously ill and wanted to see the children. He went to see them. Uncle Meng is the second most important person in the seaside base. He usually doesn't come back during the holidays. It was rare to see him during the Lantern Festival this year. It should be that Old Madam Fan's condition is really serious, so they came back to visit her."

"What does this have to do with Liang Jing's meeting with me? Could it be that he wants me to meet that old lady as well? That's not that weird, right?"

"Very likely."

"If that's the case, then she should be thankful that she hasn't said it yet, otherwise I would have asked her to leave right away! Uncle Meng knows my background, and Liang Jing must know it too. But she still makes demands on me as if nothing had happened. Who gives her the courage and confidence?"

"It's not surprising that Liang Jing would do this. Old Madam Fan has been in the Meng family for decades. The three daughters-in-law of the Meng family were selected or nodded by her before they could enter the family. They are used to obeying her.

When I went to the Meng family before, I often saw Zhehan's stepmother Zhuang Aiqin. She would never sit next to the old lady. She would always stand behind her, just like the old rules. You can imagine that the old lady's methods are not ordinary tough. She trains her daughter-in-law according to her own wishes. What's more, Liang Jing and Old Lady Fan are relatives. Old Lady Fan personally chose her to marry Uncle Meng. How can Liang Jing not side with Old Lady Fan?"

"What a nuisance! I need to stay away from her from now on."

"Forget it today. I know she has that in mind, so I'll just pretend I don't know her from now on."

"Um."

After the couple finished talking, they went together to toast their relatives and friends.

Outside the porch, Liang Jing chased Meng Zhehan and asked, "Your grandma is so old and seriously ill. If she closes her eyes, she may never wake up. Her only wish is to see Taotao. Why can't she do that?"

"Taotao doesn't want to."

"How do you know she doesn't want to if you haven't asked? Zhehan, if you don't want to ask, I won't force you. I'll go by myself! I just had a great conversation with Taotao. She's not as cold and heartless as you say."

Meng Zhehan turned and looked at Liang Jing: "I said she was cold and heartless? When did you say that?"

"You... I, I also heard it from them. This is not important. What I mean is that Taotao is a kind child."

"So you plan to take advantage of her kindness and give the old lady a happy ending to fulfill your filial piety?"

"How can you talk like that? She's your grandmother, and being filial is your duty as the eldest grandson!"

"Aunt San, I know you are a teacher and a principal, but please don't lecture me. Look at who I am. I can talk about the truth of life better than you can."

"Zhehan..."

"If you don't want Third Uncle to send you back immediately, don't say anything. Besides, Taotao is not a member of the Meng family. She has no obligations to the Meng family. She doesn't know any old lady. I will tell her later that you are unfriendly to her. From now on, don't harass her!"

Liang Jing stood there in a daze for a long time without moving. She was not frightened, but angry: As an aunt, she was looked down upon by her nephew. What kind of rules was this? (End of this chapter)
